I managed to get to bed relatively early last evening, for my younger brother was somewhat late in arriving home from wherever he had been drinking.
For some reason, I have in mind that I was not in bed until nearly 10:00 p.m., but that seems unnecessarily late. I had finished watching any T.V. by soon after 8:30 p.m., so I can't understand just how I managed to waste so much time if 10:00 p.m. is accurate.
After falling asleep, I next became aware enough to be checking the time at 12:28 a.m. The bedroom door was slightly ajar, and I think that even the lamp at my wife's side of the bed may have been on ─ whatever the case, I knew that she was home from working at her friend's Thai restaurant.
I wanted to get to work on the foundation of a new post at one of my six hosted websites, so I rose and dressed. The bedroom light was still aglow beneath my brother's closed bedroom door, so I knew that he had fairly newly retired to his room.
The bathroom door was shut, so I correctly concluded that my wife was likely its inhabitant, for downstairs only the light in her two sons' den area was on.
I keep this computer in a small room next to our bedroom. I doubt I was seated here for more than a couple or so minutes when I heard my wife exit the bathroom and enter the bedroom, closing its door. She had gone to bed.
I remained here at my computer until something like 4:32 a.m. before readying myself to return to bed. I had been up for four hours.
Once I was to sleep, I never checked the time again until 9:00 a.m. To my surprise, I was alone in bed ─ my wife had risen without me being aware.
I rose and dressed, and emerged from the bedroom in time to see her downstairs greeting what had to be a friend of her youngest son, for she expressed to the unseen newcomer that it had been a long while since she had seen him.
My brother was watching T.V.
Apparently her son was about to leave with whomever had come, for I heard the lad making a goodbye to my brother ─ perhaps the young fellow was off to work.
I never went downstairs until it was nearing 10:00 a.m. By then, my poor wife was burning out, and piteously expressed that she needed to get back to bed. She had been quite busy in the kitchen and with some gardening.
I don't know just when she had gotten up, but I encouraged her to get more sleep ─ she was going to be leaving us in the latter noon hour to go back to work at the restaurant.
During the week, I almost always join my brother for some T.V. at 10:00 a.m., and put our T9 Android 8.1 TV Box into action to find sources for episodes of some of the T.V. series we follow. But this morning, I wanted to prelude any of our regular shows with a sort of documentary ─ I believe that it is the first two of four parts to a "Corbett Report".
The video we were to watch via the YouTube 'app' that I have downloaded into our Android TV Box came to my attention in a May 21, 2020 Mercola.com article titled How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health. That's actually the same title as the nearly 25-minute video.
YouTube may well be removing the video by way of its ridiculous censorhsip, so I will not link to any sources there. However, I will link to a source at BitChute.com here.
My brother never grumbled, and in fact sat through the entire video. However, I let him know that even though it was the first half of four parts, I would not continue with the second half today. Likely, I will tune it in next week.
Late into the noon hour, he was involved in a phone call he made to his friend Greg, so I rightly surmised that he was making plans to hook up with the chap later in the afternoon. First, however, my brother would require some bed rest.
After he had resorted to his bedroom, my wife soon left for the day, so I took the opportunity to tackle the day's scheduled exercising out in the backyard tool shed.
At that point in the day, the sky was a mix of lots of sunshine, as well as enormous patches of dark grey cloud. I thought of how some sunning could profit me, but I was hungry ─ and my wife had asked that I finish up a leftover pot of soup that she had prepared yesterday that was now sitting in the fridge.
I realized that once I ate, the quantity would make any sunning an unattractive proposition in juxtaposition to a good nap ─ which I needed, else I would be unable to start work on a post in both my private blog and this public one.
So I chose to eat rather than sun.
My brother left while I was doing so here at my computer. He left afoot to catch a bus ─ this always signifies that he intends some serious drinking, and will be unlikely to arrive back home until well into the latter evening. In other words, I am going to be able to have another early evening.
The afternoon became very sunny, I must say. If not for my blogs, I would have gone out into the backyard to profit from it.
Google Photos created a collage today of five photos that my wife took two years ago when she was in Italy to visit a sister of hers who makes that country her home ─ this is the collage:
Here are the five original photos:
I did some research just now to see if I could determine the identities of any of the following architectural landmarks. If I did this properly, then the next two photos are actually of Chiesa di San Rocco (Church of San Rocco) in Rome.
This final photo below is apparently the Basilica of Saint Mary Major (Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore), also in Rome.
My gosh! It's already after 7:00 p.m. ─ I must quit and publish this post. I need to ensure that I have cleared away everything that might possibly hinder me from having an acceptably early bedtime.
